College textbooks are so expensive; I've had to find alternate ways to get them. Between frequenting the library, being a bookstore employee, and breaking copyright laws, I managed to save $213.34. Since I have an incredible amount of free time on my hands, check out the breakdown:

(They own our college bookstore.) Being a Waldenbooks employee, I am not willing to spend any money at my competitors unless it is absolutely necessary. Anyway, I spent 61.5% less on my books this year. I think this makes me considerably happy.
Some of these books look incredibly dull. I wonder if I'll even read them.
Booo-ring.
